How an Overlooked College Quarterback Took Over the NFL

[@NotAnInsider]

Do you think this is the Chiefs year again? Who's got the best chance of stopping them right now?

[@EmbraceTheStruggle24]

It could very well be. The DET Lions, MIN Vikings, or BUF Bills probably have the best chance at stopping them.

Mahomes is only disliked because they win. He is humble, he gives credit to teammates, coaches and GM. He doesn’t call out teammates and lives a clean life off the field. If he didn’t win so much he might get appreciated for what a good person he is

[@symptomofsouls]

Most of the Mahomes hate is because he is roped in with the Taylor Swift BS through Travis Kelce

[@erad67]

Well, guessing some don't like him because his wife supports the Republicans and people probably assume he does as well. I know, silly reason, but I'm pretty sure it's part of the reason.

[@FriedaHostetler]

So true 😊😊

[@AidanHolland]

its the same reason people hate brady montana aikman etc.

[@Paula-mv8im]

He's probably more arrogant than he is humble. Netflix' Quarterback show revealed that.

[@michaelmurphy4829]

You have to be impressed by how humble and generous he is to everyone in the game. He is what every athlete should aspire to be. Plus, he is the most entertaining quarterback since Brett Favre with Green Bay.

[@jay_rubyx]

I’m a forever Chiefs fan and I STILL am shocked at not only how fast he runs, but how elusive he is. This game with the 49ers definitely proved that.

[@jjpeeps9995]

It was a blessing that he got overlooked. He got selected by a good team with a good coach because he was overlooked. If he had went to the Carolina Panthers, he would have been a bust and already out of the league.

[@Mike__B]

I wouldn't say he was really overlooked, other than maybe by the Bears (LOL Trubiski), he was the 2nd QB taken overall that year, again LOL Bears. But you are right, coaching absolutely played a big part in how well he has done, Bears probably would have killed his career too.

[@dfp_01]

If he hadn't been taken by the Chiefs, the Saints would've grabbed him with the 11th pick and he would've been able to learn behind Drew Brees and Sean Payton, in my opinion a QB of comparable caliber to Andy Reid and a coach of comparable caliber to Alex Smith. The Saints brought in Alvin Kamara in that same draft class, like the Chiefs did by adding Kareem Hunt, but the rest of their supporting cast, at least on offense, wasn't as good. There were plenty of other systems that he probably could've thrived in as well, and one of the perks of not being taken in the top 3-5 is players are a lot less likely to wind up in one of the environments that ruins them.

[@Paula-mv8im]

Nope. Coaches don't care about wins or losses. They see the individual performances of the player. He sure wouldn't have the Super Bowls wins. But he would have gotten traded to another team and had the success that he is having now.

[@Paula-mv8im]

[@JonesLBJ23]

Everything in his high school college and pro careers exudes a “don’t rush the process” mentality. Between not rushing straight to the mlb, not starting his first year in college football and not starting right away in the nfl. His career has slow cooked the right way and is most likely a big reason that he’s matured into the polished professional and humble superstar he is today in the league.

[@claraglatthaar998]

Your Chicago Bears cannot catch a break when it comes to QB’s. Then you have Greenbay, over the last 20 years they have had just a handful of starters, the Bears have had what seems like more than a dozen, they all fizzle.

[@Nimbus1701]

We knew how good he was at Tech. Too bad there wasn't much concentration putting as good of a defense around him. People forget back then Tech had Mayfield briefly before he transferred to Oklahoma and then there was Mahomes we got shortly after when he came in the next year. Admittedly, I (and most) didn't know Mahomes would be this good, but we knew he had a cannon for an arm, could adequately scramble, and had good field vision. The time he spent being mentored by Alex Smith, is probably what helped him the most to actually get ready for on the field action as a pro.

[@3dcpsolutions381]

I think that Mahomes is the GOAT and he will prove it in the next few years. He is only getting warmed up. I was not a KC fan but Mahomes is incredible and now I am a KC fan.

[@AhYes-it3mr]

Mahomes short game, and mid range passing is exceptional. I'm not much of a football buff, but I think the ability to keep the ball moving downfield with short dagger passing slowly drains the defence, creates momentum. Some of his passes, under pressure, mid range dagger, into traffic, finding his mark... wow

[@ericanderson3453]

How can a pro football fan not appreciate this young quarterback? He pisses me off a bit because he always beats my teams but I'm becoming a fan because he is so impressive! Damn it! He's going to win three in a role isn't he??? I wouldn't bet against the Chiefs if Mahomes quarter back!

[@intrepidus3378]

Great story. Very happy for Patrick. He seems like a very likeable guy.

[@kevincerce5056]

I believe in him so much so that I purchased two gem mint ten Patrick Mahomes rookie cards three years ago.

[@gretchenmurray9652]

Patrick Mahome's and the Chiefs have a greater chance of winning this next superbowl because not only is defense stronger this year, prob. best in the league, but they also have worked really hard on getting the offense strong even in the midst of losing half of their good players from injuries. Secondly, Patrick works hard and comes up with unique plays. I've never seen anything like it. I also think there is a very strong connection between Patrick and Travis. They have a winning formula that is one of a kind I also think Patrick Mahomes has God given natural athletic abilities. He also has a glow of light in his eyes that is so kind and gentle. He's a good person, a good husband and a good father.

[@claraglatthaar998]

So very well said!

[@stratostechltd]

I don't think the Chiefs are winning the Superbowl this year. I realize they are undefeated that but that is a combination of a little luck and running into teams that haven't had truly good offensive performances against them. That won't be the case through the playoffs this year. The biggest concern is the offense's huge injury issues and the lack of a real play maker outside of Kelcie whose been hot and cold this year, mostly cold. Maybe they can muster some additional help with trades, but as of right now, if Mahomes keeps throwing these wild interceptions at the clip he is, its gonna cost them at the most important time. I hope they do win, I'd love to see the 3 peat but I just don't think they have the right set of circumstances to do it this year.

"Experts" aren't just selling knowledge. They also have to manage their reputations. They never want to break from consensus and be wrong because it lowers their status when that happens. So experts will always play it safe in order to maximize their income. Therefore they are going to get way more things wrong than one would expect the most knowledgeable to get wrong.

[@maggiegarber246]

I saw him play in college when his team played KU. My friend still says that he wasn’t impressed by him as a college QB. He does do sometimes unorthodox plays/passes/laterals, etc., but usually it works-especially if Kelse is the target.

[@Bare_Essence]

Of course he was overlooked. He's a high school and college QB nightmare. Who would want a random running playmaker who constantly changes the play on the fly and throws all sorts of side arm passes. He'd be benched in a second. He's very successful, but this is amazing ability and a little luck. The ability will wain with age. He will always be good, but the amazing playmaking will become more often a failure. You can see it a little now as he struggles. He no longer drives the field in 40 seconds like he did to the Eagles for the win. Now it takes blocked field goals to clinch a win. He is still amazing for 8 years in the pros. I hate and love him as a QB and playmaker.

This is an awesome sharing and summary of the beginnings of Patrick Mahomes greatness. I hope that everyone can see the parallels or lack of parallels between Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. Patrick was good or excellent in basketball, baseball and football. Brady was NOT GOOD in Anything!! Listen to Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame speech. “ To be great you just need consistency, integrity.You do not need to be special. Compare Tom Brady’s upbringing to Patrick Mahomes . upbringing. Tom was not groomed from his Father in sports. He was the 199 draft pick.He had NO ability at all. Why do people keep saying Mahomes is the next goat. He cannot be the next GOAT. Tom had NOTHING before he was drafted. Mahomes was raised, polished and groomed in three sports. That is how he brings great abilities to the Chiefs. Tom came from the bottom of the pile. No one wanted him. Patrick Mahomes is an awesome QB. Tom Brady is Tom Brady and he has said he NEVER wanted to be the GOAT, just the best Tom Brady he could be. So the NFL world should really let that next GOAT thing go because you cannot compare. Tom Brady who k no none wanted. Patrick Mahomes who was groomed to be excellent in three different sports.
